topping the news at this moment. hundreds of passengers were evacuated from a british airways flight in phoenix, take a look at that and we'll tell you what happened, what went wrong and how the passengers managed to get out on the slides so quickly. >> hold on off on that mission, shuttle endeavour a little longer than expected. why nasa is scrubbing the launch and when the next opportunity to take off will be. >> first, it was the banks and then detroit and now the white house considering a plan to bail out fall businesses and the big bucks for the banks, now, the administration plan calls for a massive redirection of some of the 700 billion dollars in bailout money that was originally supposed to shore up the country's troubled financial sector. the latest and live from washington with the plan. courtney, how would this plan

essentially work? >> well, eric, about 127 billion dollars right now in tarp funds are committed. so, basically, the u.s. treasury's proposal and the senior officials told our people at the white house the administration is considering some of the bank bailout money to help prop up small businesses and basically oping up small businesses lines of credit. if they're eligible and the business fails, the government would step in and pay back 90% of that loan. it's a move by the white house and treasury because under a lot of criticism right now to fix the economy and the republicans are criticizing the bomb administration and the stimulus plan is not doing its job. >> a lot of republicans say that the plan, hundreds of billions does not worked and unemployment going up, expecting even more. so the administration sees this as a way to get more money out and small businesses, when some of the banks don't need it anymore? >> yes, and now what's really

interesting, we talk about all the big loans and the big guys and really, there are millions of them. these talks are in the stages, the final plan isn't expected until after the summer, but small businesses are a major part of the current economy, and it could make a big difference and the businesses could be less than 500 employees and they represent 99% of all of the firms, and you know, this goes to the point half of all private sector employees, nearly 45% of the total payroll. so, when we say small businesses, you think you know, mom and pop stuff, but this is a big deal. basically the last ten years or so, they've created 60 to 80% of that new employment and the first part, interestingly, enough, eric when the u.s. lost more than a million and a half jobs, 60% of those lost jobs were from small businesses, eric. >> they say it's the backbone of our country, the backbone of our business, we'll see if this plan can help get the economy back on track. courtney kealy.

>> the question, if the plan doesn't go through, what's the chances it's going to work. small businesses experience a high rate of failure in the best of times. will the plan help generate new jobs or delay the inevitable. let's talk from tracy byrnes and the fox business network. with respect to job creation, small businesses employ less than 500 people, represented today. 99.7% of all employer firms, so, my question is is this going to help or hurt and why didn't the obama administration consider perhaps doing this when they first drafted that 700 plus billion dollar stimulus package. >> a great question, julie. look, because there are too many small businesses, having the-- drafts before it gets further. there's a lot of political posturing this that goes along with it. let's not forget you get involved with the government, you also get involved with their rules and regulations, we know what happens at the banks with

tarp moneys, they gave us a piece of the business, there was executive pay compensation limits. and small businesses are not going to want to get in bed with uncle sam. you want to help small businesses now, even the tax payroll holiday and give them the tax breaks and that will help the small businesses of our country. since the 1990's, small businesses have created 60 to 80% of the next new employment. those are large numbers, and the bailout money was originally intended to keep the financial system and now they're going to shift to small businesses to save jobs. what are the drawbacks, probably to redirecting the money at this hour, sort of late in the game? >> the whole thing has been late in the game and behind the eight ball with this thing. at this moment they've extended the money and over 6 billion dollars in loans have gotten out. back in march they also promised another 15 billion to the bank, supporting this the loans and

things like that. there's money out there. it just needs to work through the system. you throw more money out. this is more money that is against our deficit that we will owe. small businesses don't want government money, they don't want handouts, they're entrepreneurs by heart. you want to help them give them tax breaks, it puts money in their pocket instantaneously and no ties to uncle sam, it's what they want. how are you going to figure out whether the money is what is needed and by the credit cards and not troubled small businesses, how do they determine which is which and will we risk going and seeing our money going to the wrong place sns. >> absolutely. i mean, look, they've been making this left and right with the money as it is. i have no idea you would decide who qualifies, who doesn't. they come up with the parameters and we all know how the parameters work. they're fuzzsy. the whole system will not work and it's not predicated on

government handsouts. you said it, small businesses are the-- what is going to bring us out of this recession, we need to allow them to do their jobs and give them some tax breaks. >> i've got to agree. tax breaks, brilliant. when obama was running for president, he talked about taxing every dollar over $250,000, small business owners are thinking, are you kidding, laying off employees and health insurance, cutting taxes is a great idea. >> all right, tracy byrnes, thank you so much. >> now we want to know what you think. what do you think about the government dollaring out small businesses to improve numbers. either you work for a small business or you own a small business, what would you like the government to do with this money? e-mail us and twitter us, it's twitter.com/julie banderas and also, you can go to live at foxnews.com and we read your tweets and e-mails later. >> see what everybody has to say. president obama meanwhile, in the air at this moment over atlantic heading back from the

trip to ghana. the president attended after attending the g8 summit in italy and talking in a historic meeting with the pope. an hour ago the president reached out in africa, in the speech from ghana,s praising the achievements and at the same time condemning persistent wars and with more on the president's trip with the first lady and his daughters to a 17th century slave quarters once used by the british. you were over there, must have been an emotional visit for the first lady and for the president at the door of no return. >> that's exactly right, eric, though the president has gone, we're still here to be with you and your audience and happy to be a part of the show. the president, the first lady, daughters ash sha and malia take a tour of cape coast castle. in the 12th and 14th century it was a lumber and gold trading outpost in africa on the western

side of the continent. from the 19th century was a prison that sent slaves more than a million to the united states, america at the time. and the caribbean. and the president having toured this facility, said it was an emotional experience, one that he was very happy that his two daughters got to see, because he wants them to understand what happened here and how somebody thinks the change. let's take a quick listen to the president's remarks. >> and it's for them. a and-- to fight oppression and of (inaudible) and that many people who are the greatest, nor group of people have to be with tools we have available to us. >> the slaves who were sent to america and the caribbean were

first prisoners of war from regional conflicts, often times fomented by the tribal leaders in this area or they were criminals, held in the prisons and slipped off as slaves. all that legacy long since concluded here, but the president said, it was an emotional journey for him as the first african-american president to come here and take a look at that and remember, the memories for himself and wife and first lady. >> tremendously symbolic. >> also, major, another event, his speech to parliament. that's so important and his message to parliament to a continent that's received, 2 trillion dollars in development aid over the past many years. >> well, think about this, eric, when was the last time you heard an american president tell the nations here on the continent, first of all, get over your colonial grievances, second of all stop blaming the west for your problems, be there economic or political. three, your governments are too corrupt, better clean them up. four, no one is going to invest her if you're skimming off the

top and rogue cops and judicial systems. all of those things he said to the people in ghana, he held up as a developing state with democracy and developing a more transparent economy, but for the entire continent said the time for grievances against the west is over. your future is in your hand and if you change your future the united states and other countries will bring more aid and more assistance, but not until you clean up your act. a historic speech, here is a part of it at the convention center here and in accra. >> for far too many africans con fliblth is a way of life. there are wars over land and wars over resources and it's still far too easy for those without conscience to manipulate whole communities in the fighting against trusts. these conflicts are a millstone

around africa's neck. >> a millstone around the neck, the strongest words any u.s. president said when he was introduced at the conference center. the president here called president obama a son of africa. >> well, within the family, very tough love from this president the entire continent. >> yeah, he was-- i think major, finally, the impact was there for only 24 hours, will his message and what he said resonate? >> the administration wanted the speech to be a benchmark for all interactions on the continent and the nations from this point forward and that's why the president hasn't that many meetings and from the african continent because he want today come here, give the speech and let everyone know where he was coming from on the key issues from this point forward and from this point forward, the president helps they will have heeded his words and the policy the administration will bring here and bring about changes. >> a historic day in africa, and a good trip home, thank you very much. >> congressional democrats there are coming up with a plan to pay

for their health care legislation, they want to slap a big tax increase on wealthy households and the proposal would raise 540 billion dollars for health care reform. and caroline shively with more on the story from washington. >> the chairman of the house ways and committee is proposing a 550 billion dollar tax increase to help pay for overhauling health care. democratic congressman charlie rangel plans to tax individuals making more than $280,000 a year or more couples 350,000. and take the tax at 2011 and start around 1% and would cover half the cost of the prm for a decade. the other half would come from cuts to medicare and other savings. and it appears to be getting support from democratic leadership and house republicans hate the idea. house minority leader john boehner says the last thing the country needs is a tax increase during an economic down turn and

republican strategist karl rove says-- >> three out of every four jobs in america are created by small business and what they want to do is tax those job creators. it's remarkably toed out plan. >> where does the money come from without the tax? many are pounding the administration on the huge debt the nation is racking up. the big taxes certainly aren't popular. yesterday, before rangel came out with his plan, president obama explained the dilemma. >> whenever the bill is produced, it has to be paid for and that's created some difficulties because people would like to get the good stuff without, without paying for it. >> more details on chairman rangel's plan will come out on monday. julie. >> caroline shively in washington. thank you so much. >> stay with fox news, we'll pay for judge so the mayor's hearing that will begin on monday and

bret baier and megan kelly will host the event monday night and fox news reporting, judges sotomayor starts at 8 p.m. eastern time and we'll look forward to the hearings, and controversy about they are employment we'll begin live coverage monday morning. >> it is hot out there. a blistering hot weekend on tap for oklahoma. the mercury soaring to near record levels. triple digit temperatures and the norm in many areas, but a heat advisory issued for much of the state urging folks to stay indoors. demand for air conditioning, putting a huge strain on electric systems, is there any relief in sight? domenica davis live at the weather center with the details. >> yes, it certainly is hot. these are a look at the current temperatures, 102. that's the high in oklahoma city. where they have been feeling the blistering heat the past couple of days and it continues. we have high pressure that is centered over the south. so this heat is going to be

located not only for the weekend, but into the beginning of the work week. 98 right now in dallas, 95 in houston. relative humidity is going down to about 15%. so you factor in the heat indices and the feel-like temperature comes up to 101, 102, 103 in many spots. now, we still have a little bit to go with the temperature. we could see this weekend or in the next couple of days this heat indices get anywhere between 105. even up to 108 in some cases. so we're looking at some very dangerous heat and because of that, heat warnings have been issued through the weekend. now, again, with this high pressure into the south. that means the hot temperatures will stick around to monday and/or tuesday. so, certainly, one of those weekends that you're going to have to limit the outdoor activity and really, just play it safe out there. now, it's dry to the south and we've had high pressure, but on the eastern edge of that high, that's where we have precip from the ohio valley to new england.

looking at scattered showers and thunderstorms and even a tornado warning through southern partials of ohio. that will be allowed to expire in a little bit. thunderstorm watch box over parts of the new england area and then down to the south, dealing with some scattered showers and thunderstorms through the area that not only sticks around to you a chance of those scattered showers will stick around through our sunday as well. which could pose some problems for the shuttle launch, i'll tell you more about that coming up in the next hour. jul julie. >> all right, domenica davis, thank you very much. eric. >> nassau hoping an extrady will do the trick, they've delayed the launch of endeavor. it was scrubbed after nine lightning strikes. there are so many in florida. a look live at the launch pad and the skies look clear. but the lightning strikes caused the delay. the third now for endeavor and

of nasa technicians found no damage, but they want the extra day to go over everything and once in space endeavor will install the third and final piece of a space station lab. >> police are assuming graves at a cemetery in chicago. they're trying to determine how many were desecrated in a scheme to resell funeral plots. the attorney for the owner of the cemetery oaks, believe they'll find two bodies in a grave searched this weekend and investigators have already found human bones strewn around the grounds. earlier this week, four former workers were accused of dumping hundreds of unearthed bodies. they have each been charged with one count of dismembering a body. >> there's been a gruesome discovery now inside a new york city skyscraper in downtown manhattan. police believe they have found the body after missing woman missing the last four days. police say they found the body stuffed in an ac vent in the

same building she disappeared earlier this week, that happening on tuesday. according to investigators, the mother of three, lives in upper manhattan. she vanished suddenly from her job in the office billed, the body found in the building where she worked in a high security zone right near ground zero and near wall street. cameras cover every door and recorded when she last came to work, but never showed her leave. detectives and police dogs have combed every inch of the building, so far police apparently don't have any suspects and they have not made arrest yet. >> well, police in florida tried to figure out why someone would kill a wealthy couple known for adopting disabled children. police say vern and melanie billings were shot to death in their home near pensacola. eight of their children asleep in bed at the time. none of them were harmed. over the years the billings adopted 12 year in all. many with disabilities,

including autism and downs syndrome. police say surveillance video shows three men in a red van at the home around the time of the murder. >> well, they're calling it one of the big egest biggest funera recent mississippi history, the quarterback steve mcnair murdered a week ago today. at least 4500 people attended the service that occurred on the campus of university of mississippi. his wife and mother were escort intoed red and green colosseum by police and nfl greats including paid their respects and police say mcnair was shot to death by his girlfriend and then turned the gun on herself. >> well, president obama was overseas, new economic numbers came out and they weren't pretty. unemployment growing, wall street dropping and coming up we'll discuss what the president needs to do to prove his plan is the right one for the reception next.

>> passengers had to be evacuated from a british airways jet after smoke apparently filled the cabin. the plane was preparing for takeoff at phoenix's sky harbor international airport. the passengers soon began to cough and then they start today complain about smoke and fumes in the air. and a witness outside the plane describes exactly what happened. >> and then next thing i know all of a sudden you see all the doors pop open and that's when all the emergency chutes just popped out and then, saw the passenge passengers jumping off and it's pretty crazy, you know, kind of scary. >> julie: thank god it happened

before the plane took off. it may have been caused by an electrical problem, but the cause is still under investigati investigation. >> geraldo: . >> eric: president obama is over the atlantic on the way home from his week long overseas trip. from russia to ghana, the president's visit full of pomp and circumstance and the symbolism you'd expect. as soon as one o'clock the next morning, the american people will be turning, the economy and the economic slump drags on. showing the president's approval rating taking a hit as more americans question his handling of the economy. what can he do to shore up the confidence out this have continuing recession? john fine is a columnist. always good to see you. >> thank you. >> eric: approval has been down and wall street last been going down and unemployment going up, what does the president have to do? >> i think that the president is

capable of remarkable feats, and i think he gave the best speech an african-american ever has, real solid truth to the african people. on the economy i think he miscalculated he thought the stimulus package would work by now and and said unemployment would never go above 8%. we are he' above 9% and stimulus package seems to be floundering. the president probably thought if the economy is it better i can pass cap and trade taxes and health care. the problem is the economy is it not doing bet ater. part of the reason, the uncertainty created by the cap and tax, could be the largest tax increase in national history and the health care bill could be enormously expensive entitlement. that means uncertainties unraffles consumers and keep money on the side lines, don't invest and create new jobs and 3 to 5 trillion dollars including the stimulus and bailout money on the sidelines not investing it. people are hoarding it they're uncertain about the future.

the president is in a trap. if he pursues health care and cap and trade climate change bills may not get the economy recovery he he wants. i think he needs to think if this is the time to have ambitious proposals on the table. >> eric: and there's been criticism trying to do too much. >> i think that democrats wonder if he's trying to do too much. remember, these are enormously expensive programs and we know from the congressional budget office in the past, often the estimates that they give even though they're large for entitlement programs for for these kind of expansion programs are way overestimated. so i think we're entering into a situation in which the president has a liberal agenda, but an economy that can't pay for it yet and i think that the timing here is all wrong for him politically because the democrats are looking at 2010 election whereby if we load the economy up with enormously expensive programs like cap and trade and health care, the economy won't have recovered and democrats may take heavy losses in the 2010 election.

>> eric: getting nervous now. you mentioned his speak in africa, in ghana, a direct, blunt, honest speech which directly addressed the problems, economic issues that held a lot of them to bat, why didn't doesn't he give that speech to the american people. he says the stimulus is working as it's intended. >> i think the president is going to have a choice in the next week. chairman rangel is going to propose higher taxes to pay for national health care. i think the president has a fundamental choice to make. he says we should sacrifice, but i don't think he's willing to go to the american people and say, i want to raise your taxes because remember, he went to the american people and say, i've got to cut your tacks in the campaign last year. so, he's got enormously expensive programs that his friends in congress want to pay for with higher taxes, called honest accounting, but he's unwilling to support them. i think he's got to make a choice, is he going to have the programs and pay for them or going to basically hide the ball and not tell the american people the truth how much it's going to cost. >> eric: he may find out more

about this. may have a prime time address or news conference later upon his return this week. thank you. >> julie: we asked you earlier what you thought about the government handing out money to small businesses. juan writes to me, while it may help a few businesses the chance for dishonesty is great. lower corporate tax, this is a messy deal. more tweets later in the year. speaking of messy, if you applied for a mortgage, even if you're a perfect candidate, you get turned down. why is the the bank rejecting your applications? we'll go in depth next, plus, chris gutierrez is going fishing. hey, chris. >> reporter: hi, julie, no rod, no reel, no problem, we're in oklahoma and we're noodling, you see this, a different type of fishing, you can see there's no rod and no reel, it's dangerous, run, great live tv. we'll have more coming up in a live report after this quick commercial break.

stay wuls. the doctor diagnosed arthritis in my right knee. but with aleve, i don't have to worry about my knees hurting. only two aleve can stop pain all day. that would take three times as many tylenol arthritis pain. aleve works for me.

>> it's the bottom of the hour. time for the top of the news. nasa delaying the launch. endeavor another day following several lightning strikes near the launch pad and checking to make sure that critical systems aren't damaged in the storm. >> passengers say there was panic, people choking and coughing as fumes filled the plane's cabin and forced more than 300 people to evacuate that british airways flight at the

phoenix airport. the acrid smell started as they pulled oaway from the gate and the crews suspected a ln electrical problem. >> julie: the president said that the humanity's potential for quote, great evil. the president is returning to the united states later today. >> eric: part that have 700 billion dollar bank bailout has gone to help the struggling auto industry, why not use it to help america's small businesses. that accord to go a new white house plan. laura ingle now joins us outside our studio with the latest details on this, what do they plan? what's the plan? >> well, right now, the plan is more of an idea. that's at least what we've been told, perhaps with the small business administration today. and talkling about this idea kicked around with the obama administration how to help out small businesses across the country as we know, times are tough, businesses are struggling and the obama administration and the figuring out ways to help

mom ap pop stores across america. the idea that they will be funneled over to f.d.a. one point. and people on the street, a couple of folks are visiting in new york and i didn't get your-- >> evelyn. >> evelyn. what do you think of the idea of tarp funds used for sba loans? >> tarp, it would be nice if they used the tarp and the money got to where it was supposed to go. i think the easier way for them to solve the problem, reduce the taxes and the onerous rules and regulations at that they have, it eats you up alive to have to pay for accountants and lawyers it to navigate our way through all of this mess. >> you're a former small business owner yourself. what did you own? >> at one time i owned a hardware store and paint store and from that i was in the early '80s, we didn't bankrupt. we closed up. i developed low income housing at that point only thing available and possibly could

make a few dollars and then we kept that up and we just retired a few months ago. >> reporter: congratulations. would you use money that was-- that came from tarp if you needed it in a small business? >> if it came without too many strings and restrictions. that's the answer. >> reporter: okay. well, thank you very much for your time and congratulations on your retirement and your anniversary. and we'll continue to bring you more word from the street, eric, as we move throughout this afternoon in this broadcast. >> eric: and that could cause controversy, who gets what money, how much, and what businesses could qualify. >> that's right. >> eric: thanks. >> julie: two tweets, writes i am a small business owner and do not want government money. what we want are lower taxes and let us run our business. freedom, he writes in quotes. mike 220. yes, yes, lower company taxes will enable them to hire more employees and grow. thank you so much. so many tweets and interesting thoughts. hey, also speaking of growth, wouldn't you love for the housing market to actually grow?

you're ready to buy that home of your dreams, you've got a great credit score or at least a good one. a sizable down payment and may have a decent income, six figures even, but your bank says no. from first timers to those looking to trade up. getting shut out of today's housing market and feeling the back draft of tight are credit rule and tightened in response to the last rules that got america into the financial mess in the first place, but have they have gone too far in the other direction? to sort this out. from uni private wealth strategies, thank you for joining us. >> thank you for having me, i appreciate it. >> julie: there was a time when anyone who wanted a mortgage could get one. i think my dog tried and i told her no, want in her budget and now the extreme opposite is happening. great credit, great salaries and can't get a home because they can't get a mortgage. so, how is the housing market ever going to turn around if people who want to buy and can

buy new homes, can't? >> well, i think the first thing i would say to you, everybody just relax a little bit. it's moved far too much to the side of nobody can get a mortgage now, but let's remember the world of finance. the pensions leaning too far is nothing new, back in the days of the ipo's or the enron worldcom situations where we-- nobody wants stocks anymore or the irriegsal exuberance of the stock market. right now, it's moved too far and the banks have a lot on their plates right now, julie. they've got a lot of properties that they foreclosed on, they need to work through to sell, they have a lot of problems with mortgages already on their books. >> julie: yeah. >> weather that's modification or some other way to work through that and they've got capital positions that are not what they've historically been. they've got crushed stock prices for bad earnings and i think right now, as they work through

these things, any new risk they take on, julie, they're going to run pretty tough screens on it. unfortunately, for many americans looking to take advantage of cheap home prices, that's the catch 22. now, the prices are great, but you can't buy. >> julie: mortgage lenders like you point out are facing serious issues like the large amount of mortgages on their books that are delinquent or in default and foreclosed properties they need to sell. what do the mortgage lenders need to do to fix this so that we can buy homes? >> well, i think they need to, you know, they need to act, but i think they are acting, remember, they're-- these banks have taken money from the government that they want to pay back. not every lender, not every mortgage lender is in this thing, but remember, at the end of the day, making mortgages is big, big business out there. >> julie: yeah. >> for lenders, they want to get involved. what do i think they need to do.

that's the big deal. they need to work with the current people that are having troub trouble, in this present crisis and work hard with them to modify their loans, get that stuff done and get all that done. >> julie: you're applying for a loan, try, try, try again. michael seymour, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> julie: head over to eric and nodling. >> eric: noodle, it's not noodling. >> thank you have a great weekend. thank you, everyone is watching. you know, you go out fishing and this is an extremely-- >> you don't fish like this usually. >> eric: this is cad fish, this is noodling or hand fishes, you can see, you stick your hand in the hole where the catfish are and pull these guys out and use your bear hands and getting to be so popular now there's a super bowl of sno noodling righ now in of oklahoma where chris gutierrez is live.

chris, this looks disgusting, no hooks, no bait, no lines, not like fly fishing, this you reach in and you grab a fish. >> reporter: i couldn't make this up if i tried. take a look behind me they're doing a live demonstration, that's lee mcfarland trying to grab that fish there. typically you can't see under the water it's dark, murky water, when you get it fired up they'll snap at you, protecting, usually it's eggs, he's getting fired up and lee and his buddy mark work together as a team to bring that in. that's kind of what we see in oklahoma you have to work as a team and walk me through, probably about a 25 pounder. why do people in the state of oklahoma like to noodle? >> it's more excitement than anything, they like the adventure, like the challenge. could be 100 pound, 60 pound. we'll show you today. >> reporter: and talk to your son, not son, but friend dustin,

came across a 60 pounder. >> it was pretty hard. i went in the hole and pushed me out and got a hold of it. >> you hear that it's teeth from in the mouth-- that platinum catfish was up to about your knee and you had you. you're underwater and in a hole. >> yes. >> holding your breath and at that point trying to get out there have and bring him with you. >> i'm trying to push him further back in there. >> a 60 pounder, you can see the guys right here, the 60 pounder, it's there on your left-hand side there. and the 60 pounder is here. look at that thing, guys, a 60 pound catfish and that's some good eating here in oklahoma and first they want to make sure they win the tournament. and talk about the dangers involved, dustin. and 69 people across the country died last year noodling because like you said get underwater and hold your breath. some people freak out and drown. and talk to me about what

happened. >> tried to hold them and they start going crazy on you. >> and you're fighting them. >> thank you, guys, appreciate it. >> back to you in new york, we're noodling. >> julie: i'm disturbed, i'm sorry. now i'm going to have a hard time eating fish after watching that. >> eric: 69 people died. that can be dangerous, besides kind of looking bizarre. >> julie: the thing swallowed his leg up to his knee. i mean, that's a dangerous recreational sport. don't do that at home. >> eric: what do they do with the guys they have, fry them up or-- >> better believe it they're going to fry them up. having the biggest fish fry in the valley you've heard of. this is the 10th annual event by the way, guys. >> eric: okay, a popular attraction. >> julie: do you feel bad for the fish? are either of you-- am i the only one that feels sad for the fish? >> well, you know, some people want to throw them back, but they are going to have a fish fry out there. >> julie: fun. we're all looking for the

fountain of youth. i don't know about you, but i always am. now researchers think they may have found it in of all things, monkeys, we'll explain next. looking at bones just because they're inside you doesn't mean they're protected. oh, ladies. let's say you have osteoporosis. i do. you could be losing bone strength. can i get it back?

crime because they put too much personal information out there on the social networking sites like twitter, facebook and my space. the video to my right is of a home near fooek, arizona, cops there say that a man put on his tw twitter page he was on vacation with his wife and when they got home the house had been burglarized, ransacked and thousands of dollars worth stolen and police say it's not a guide good idea to put that out there. >> julie: what advice would experts give? >> it's it sounds like common sense. one security expert said you wouldn't stand in time square and announce to strangers you're going on vacation or got a new plasma television and the same for online. for those who use the site, there are security settings you can alter, only your friends see the private information and that
